A man who is unable to get a job despite 50 applications has offered himself up as a maid-for-a-month.

In a bid to improve his CV, Ben Burchfield, 20, said he will be a live-in maid seven days a week for just £100.

He says he is happy to do anything that is asked of him and will sleep in a shed if necessary.

Ben even comes with a hazmat protective suit and mask ready should any hazardous waste need moving.

Ben’s advert reads: ‘This ad is for a month period of my work services, but you have to include meals for myself and accommodation (a shed is good enough but anything more is appreciated) my working week is 7 days so you get a full 28 days of my services.

‘I can kinda cook meals which consist of bacon butty’s, toast, pizzas, chips general easy cooking really, takes the edge off your day if you have a busy lifestyle as meals will be cooked for when you get home etc.

‘I can buy the food supplies from the shops as needed. Life is so fast paced and people don’t have time these days just to sit back and enjoy themselves. They don’t get a life to themselves.

‘They go to work, come home, clean and go got bed. I’ll have dinner on the table. Although I am not a fancy chef if you want something fancy I will give it a go. I am open to anything.’

Ben from Worthing, West Sussex, said: ‘I am currently unemployed and I really want to work. I suppose I am not normal. I don’t want to sit around, I want to go out there and try new things and learn new skills.’

‘I will do anything I can to improve my CV. I just want to make the most of what is out there. I left education with just GSCEs so I thought I should get experience in anything I can to prove myself. I suppose this is a last resort.’

Ben has previously worked as a cleaner at Severn Water, completed a 12-week Prince’s Trust course in team work, community skills and employment skills and another in retail media.

He added: ‘Since leaving work at the end of 2013 I have had a few gardening jobs. I have probably sent off more than 50 job applications in varying fields and I have heard nothing back from any of them. It’s pretty disheartening. You send off all these applications and get nothing back.’

In that time Ben has also applied for five apprenticeships in the Worthing area in different fields ranging from aviation and security alarm services.

His dream job would be to work in the aviation industry and he applied for an apprenticeship with BAE Systems.

He said: ‘I got to the final round. I had to go to Doncaster for an aptitude test but lost out on the next round by three points.

‘This was the only one I got an interview with. It has been really difficult to find jobs in the aviation industry let along just getting a regular job. I have had temp jobs at Tesco but have never been offered full-time employment.’

Prior to listing the advert, Ben had gone to his local job centre to look for work but soon realised that all the jobs he had gained were from his own independent search.
